Yesterday, 23 Aug, we supported the Reston Bike Club (RBC) Ken Thompson Reston Century.
It was beautiful day in the mid-80s with nice puffy clouds providing some breaks from the sun with a light breeze. The 100 milers arriving at Lovettsville didn’t even seem to be breaking a sweat.
With about 700 riders participating, 16 members of the club provided situational awareness and communications support to the race directors team from 5:30 am to 5 pm at the ride start/finish, 4 rest stops and SAG vehicles.
By tracking the SAG vehicles using APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) we could dispatch the closest SAG to a rider who needed support.
Great job today by all who supported the Reston Century.
